Jim- I have posted instructions at: * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory As to how to add links to your unmounted Private directory, that would allow you to double click on "Access Your Private Data" link, enter your password, and then mount your private directory. :-Du

Jim, please note that the fix in this bug, to get a "clickable" unencryption, only applies to newly created private directories. Also, this feature isn't really pointless IMHO, it works very well for people without autlogin. With this fix it works reasonably well for autologins as well, it's just

Martin- The fix, as proposed, will only solve this comprehensively for *newly* created encrypted-private setups, with the patched ecryptfs-setup-private. I didn't think it appropriate for upgrading the package to go digging in user's unmounted ~/Private directory, creating symlinks to the readme.

ubuntostones- Aha! Thanks for the excellent detective work. Absolutely, automatic mounting of encrypted ~/Private cannot work with automatic logins. Mounting of encrypted ~/Private requires you to enter your password at login. If you have not done so, the required key is not present, and thus

Okay, it's my best guess at this point that you're suffering from some weird perturbation of Bug #290445. The fix for that bug should land in intrepid-updates within a day or two. If you'd like to try it now, though, you can try ecryptfs-utils_53-1ubuntu12~ppa1 in my PPA: * https://edge.launchpa

Rob- Reboot. Login. Run: "keyctl show". This should show the signature of the key used (not the key itself. Does that signature matches the value in ~/.ecryptfs/Private.sig? If that key signature is missing, or two two do not match, that's where we need to start debugging this problem. :-Du

Thank you for your response, I will test this shortly. Please not that the output I posted is not the complete output of the unwrap command. In any case, is it possible to take the mount_passphrase and reverse it in order to compare it to the original login_passphrase ? Or can one mount_passphras
